Yes. Just using that as an example where "AI" (not the hyped up LLMs) has really helped.

I recently had a refreshing conversation with a bank VP (head of AI), he said yes, they do see 30-40% improvement in "some" processes, so overall maybe 0.5-1% improvement. So I'm betting they got 30% gains in e.g. "OCRin

In the past (why do I feel so old when I say this?), DBMSs WERE used to implement complex logic. Not just complex business logic, but even authentication, authorization, etc were implement with stored procs, embedded sql, native DB feature

Agreed that life is not that simple as a math equation, but I think baselines apply, e.g. if you are sedentary, adding 150-180 mins of moderate exercise will definitely improve your health and life. if you are already meeting that baseline,

There are also plenty of ways to have a large portioned meal that tastes good and meets your needs and satisfies your hunger for longer, without having to resort to drugs to curb your appetite. Greg Doucette's cookbook shows how you ca

Army too, back then. IQ test and MBTI (Myers Briggs), if I recall correctly, then OCS considerations if ranked well enough, including an oral interview.

ditto. Always a bit frustrating when the sadly overweight nurse looks at my height and weight, charts it, and mutters to themselves "borderline". My last visit, at least the doctor deigned to actually eyeball me and said "y

For those of you who don't have 2 minutes for some balance and proprioception work, I practise putting on pants and other stuff in the morning with one hand, usally my non-dominant, whilst brushing my teeth. It is hard at first, don&#

I'd echo what you said, without that ecosystem and integration, perl and python are far better. Personal history: I went from perl in college to REXX because of IBM. However, once I left IBM, I went back to perl and python.

First time I read TUOT, I was thoroughly confused. Both the article and this mention, has inspired me to pick up Borges again for the following few weeks of pre/post christmas reading! To add to the recommended readings, I shall also

The argument then, is what if we DO load 2K worth [0] of randomized data into each of those 1m goroutines (and equivalents in the other languages), and do some actual processing. Would we still see the equivalent 10x (whatever math works i

+1. The other concern is that AI is potentially removing junior level jobs that are often a way for people to gain experience before stepping up into positions with more agency and autonomy. Which means in future we will be dealing with t

In the about link (above), they do mention the frame: "If you would like to build the frame shown in the video, that frame is 12' feet, by 2’ by 7’ tall."

I hate to say this, but you probably can only achieve x2 using AI on the "easy" parts of your work. Going by the 80/20 rule: - 80% of your work is easy, and is accomplished in 20% of the time - 20% of your work is hard

omg I just disabled this on a major server that was just upgraded to 24.04. Had to check my other VMs. Luckily most of them are debian or 22.04 (for now).

I feel sad that people don't remember OS/2 anymore. It was also able to run multiple dos windows, have video running in the background etc, and that was in the late 90's.

That first part about Douyin, sounds exactly like what the internet should be, a public resource for learning about hard things. The second part, well, I guess I can read a book, and maybe children should, too.

the One-channel generation seems to be speaking gibberish english. I'm not sure what it is supposed to represent? And is the interactive generation just doing an ELIZA? i.e. "P: tell us about how AI will be interesting", &q

Glad to see I use it in the proper context then. "we just have to..." from me, means it will take just[0] an order or two magnitude more work than you expect. [0] see what I did there?

yes, that's what I've noticed; when I write in pencil, my handwriting almost looks good (!), but when I try to do the same with a Bic, it's terrible. Will give the Zebra Sarasa a try.

Isn't it only a few 100 yards worth? So thieves can still camp out in a 1 square mile area to find that nice carbon fiber bike at 5am in the morning?
